I went out to the bank parking lot next to the junction in Romulus this morning and saw 5 trains in about an hour and a half. The first one was a northbound CSX, and the second a southbound CSX which came about 15 minutes later. Then two CP's went by in about 10 minutes of eachother.

Sorry about the shakiness of the footage and the rain drops on the camera during the last train. It was very windy today. I thought that staying in the car would've kept the camera dry. Apparently I was wrong. The fifth train I did not get footage of. It was a northbound CSX autorack train that parked just south of 275. I got as close as I could to it at a crossing, and was able to see it had what looked like two CP's for power.

Train 1: Q132
Train 2: Q231
Train 3: Either 34T or an extra rack train... then it'd be I2T or the like of CP extra symbols.
Train 4: 23T
Train 5: Sounds like Q272.

Thanks for the symbols, TW. I was wondering what trains those were.

Yea, if you ever see a gold Ford Escape around at either the bank or in the dirt lot come over and say "Hi", I don't bite.... well not too hard anyway Brandon
